There’s no way Bruce Wayne could keep his secret identity a secret...NSA the National Security Agency would have found him out to be Batman a long time ago. You can’t build a secret fortress like that without them knowing about something fishy too.

It's called "voluntary suspension of disbelief".Superman wouldn't work either.

Most people return to reality after the movie ends - but fundies don'tafter the service.

It has been implied in the DC Comics stories that govt black opstypes like Amanda Waller do know who the Batman is, or that withthe resources at their disposal, they could find out, but choosenot to blow his cover, because he's an asset.

You can suggest a vigilante take care of a problem, and thegovt has plausible deniability.

Bruce is rich. Bribes may have been taken.

In various versions of the continuity, the Batman is the best humanfriend of a near-omnipotent alien resident of Earth. That's ahandy guy to have around if and when the alien needs to be broughtunder control, or influenced.

JLAers have had access, in the comics at least, to Amazonian, Kryptonian,Thanagarian, Rannian and, to an extent, Oan tech. There have been membersfrom New Genesis, specifically Scott (Mr Miracle) Free, who are fullyconversant with NGtech and that of Apokolips. If the Batman wantedto hide something, in that continuity, he could hide it.

This is more a rec.arts.comics.dc.universe question than an alt.atheismone, except that, in some versions, Bruce is a non-believer.

[Hey, his parents were shot before his eyes when he was, what, 8?Would you believe in a "just ghod" if your life was like that?]

They don't seem to be doing so well yet at finding thingsunder intercontinental oceans - aeroplanes, submarines.So Aquaman and Namor's stuff is probably safe.

Hollywood can't even keep their own bullshit straight.

First there's all these Star Trek movies where a starship goes from starto star in a matter of days.

Then JJ Abrams helms another Star Trek movie and just has his villainbeam to a planet several light years away from Earth.

As Roddenberry said, the ship moves at the speed of plot (or words tothat effect).

They all have to bend the rules, so to speak. Monolith gateway, anyone?

Bruce Wayne would need to hire an architect, construction company, work crews,the whole bit to make the Bat Cave. Does he keep them from talking by droppingthem in the Bat Oubilette or buried in the Bat Cellar with all the other yellowfever victims?

It's science fiction, Teresita. It's about possibilities. And who is to say that, given time, such things as transporters won't be invented? And, nogod will have anything to do with it. It would certainly speed things up.
